[Chimera-users] Handling electrostatic potential in cube format

[Boaz Shaanan]

Hi,

It seems as if the new Delphi version (v8.4) only knows to produce potential phi files in cube format. Oh well. I'm beginning to play with this format via the volume viewer but so far the fit of the surface to the atomic model is bad, let alone that potential values on the surface (as reported by moving the mouse on the surface) make no sense. I'm wondering whether there is a chance to achieve as nice a fit of the cube surface to the protein model as is easily achieved with the good old .phi format and surface command. So far I'm lost. I'd appreciate any clues. 

Luckily, I still keep the older version but there might be some improvements in the potential calculations in the newer version.

Thanks for your help.
